Chapter Seventy-Four: The Trial
In the team, even if the most unlucky ones are Qingyun and Nangong Wuwei, the fighting spirit of Jiang He and Twelve will only be conveyed to them at night, and during the day, they can only rely on their coats to keep out the cold.
However, Seamus's next sentence almost choked them to death.
"The temperature here is not even a tenth of the Death Cave, we have to speed up, it's autumn, the temperature of the Death Cave is not too low, once the late autumn is over, the temperature inside can freeze us at any time. ”
"Oh my God, I have learned the cold of Sang Kingdom, and I will never come to such a place next time!" shivering, Qingyun was wrapped in a heavy leather coat, and his face was even more purple from the cold, even if it was his own internal strength, he couldn't stop the cold.
On the other hand, Seamus on the side smiled bitterly, "No, if you pick the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, then here...... Forget it, let's go, this little thing follows us, and it can be regarded as a warning to the wolves here, they don't dare to move us lightly. ”
"Boil!" the fluffy ball whispered, as if in response to Seamus beside him, looking at Twelve flatteringly, and not caring about the cold weather, jumped into the snowdrift, and played with himself.
Seeing the heat of the desert area, Jiang He had never seen such a cold, his hands were clasped in front of him, he took a breath of air, and said in a trembling voice: "It's so cold, even at night in the desert, there is no such temperature, and if it is cold for a while, it will be very hot." It's hell here!"
"Hell, there will be even more hell in a while, climb over the mountain ahead, and we will reach a dangerous mountain, which is five thousand meters high, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed. We have to walk through chains empty-handed, climb dangerous mountains with bare hands, you all be careful, I don't want to take someone to my destination for the first time and die halfway through. The glint in his eyes flashed, and Seamus clenched his fists.
And Nangong Wuwei just sighed hot, looked up at the faintly visible mountains in front of him, and hooked the corners of his mouth upward.
Cliffs and snow-capped. The peaks like sharp blades stand on the river, and the monstrous momentum is even more impossible to look at, and the rumbling river washes the world, such a cold weather, but strangely does not freeze them. They are like elves, playing on both sides of the river.
There is only a rusty iron chain connecting the two sides of the river, and I don't know how many years have passed, but it still has the breath of the past. The thigh-thick chains stood still in the wind, and one or two goshawks rested, with piercing eyes, at the group of humans who had suddenly intruded into their territory.
"This is, the dangerous ridge ......" Qing Yun couldn't help but shudder, those eyes looked at the mountain in front of him, just swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the iron chain in front of him, it was actually a hundred meters long, and below, there was the abyss, and you could see the river at the bottom of the mountain, if it fell from here, it would almost be a corpse! It would be washed away in the torrent.
Nodding, Simo's face became solemn, "That's right, this is the dangerous ridge, we can avoid dealing with the snow fox at the foot of the mountain from here, and we can also climb a little less distance." From this side, the distance is fast to climb over the dangerous ridge ahead, and it will take you two days to reach the opposite peak. As soon as we pass the dangerous ridge, we will be one step closer to the cave of death. ”
"Oh, yes, are you sure to get there?" Twelve chuckled, turning his head to look at the two men with dead faces.
It's so high here, and the way in the past is to step on iron chains, even people who are beaten with iron can't stand it!
Nangong Wuwei patted Qingyun's head and stretched out his finger to his temple, "Sometimes, the way is that people come up with it, no one will fly out of thin air, and nothing can be done without work." Use our brains, think of a way, and we will be able to get through. ”
"But it's hundreds of meters from here and on the other side, how can we walk there! And the snow on the chains can make us slip at any time, and there is a river below, if it falls......"
"I really didn't expect that you outsiders are so timid and afraid, I don't know why you brought him. Reaching out to take off his coat, Seamus shuddered, but he tied the thick garment to his waist, and the other end was tied to the iron chain in front of him, but it was a movable knot, and the other sleeve was open for a while.
"This is?" Jiang He was also slightly stunned, for him, such a place, he could pass with his bare hands, the main thing was to control his balance and stabilize his heart. Following Twelve's studies, he has improved a lot, not like the ignorant child at the beginning.
Tied to the rope, Seamus explained: "The chains on both sides of the strait are not straight, the ropes on this side will descend in the middle, we tie the chains with clothes, and then tie the coat with hemp rope, which is a little safer." When we reached the middle, we tied the chain with the horse rope, untied the clothes, and climbed over with the chain, at most half an hour, but the wind on both sides of the strait was strong, we all had to pay attention, and it was inevitable that the hands would be frozen and bleeding, so we should be very careful. ”
Saying that, Xi Mo was ready, watching Qing Yun take off his coat, re-tie it up for Qing Yun, and then tie the rope for Nangong Wuwei, his eyes fell on the body of Twelve and Jiang He, Xi Mo said in a deep voice: "Maybe you are different from them, but the rope is tied differently, it's better to go like this, it's safer." Come here, I'll help you ......."
"There's no need, you go first, I'll see how long they can last with your method. Nangong Wuwei, Qingyun, don't let a kid look down on you!" The corners of his mouth hooked upward, and Twelve looked at the three people on the chain.
Seamus wasn't talking at the moment, he just vaguely felt that Twelve was different from Jiang He, but he didn't know exactly what he was going to say.
Holding his coat with both hands, Seamus jumped forward, the coat rubbed against the chains, and under the influence of Seamus, the thigh-thick chains trembled, making a "zizi" sound.
Qing Yun's face was even more pale, and he didn't dare to go over at all. But thinking of Twelve's words, the whole person's eyes were red, and he quickly reached out to buckle the coat and slammed forward, and the whole person's body was in a tense state.
The cold wind whistled by, and the wind of the canyon like a knife came from above, as if walking in a rain of bullets. Qing Yun had been in such a place for the first time, and he had no experience at all, his hands became scarred under the friction, and he subconsciously looked down, but he was startled by the scene below.
The water below was so strong that the coat creaked against the friction of the chains. Even in the middle, there is still a distance of dozens of meters from the other side.
With trembling hands, Qingyun followed the example of Seamus and tied the hemp rope around his waist to the iron chain.
"Tie a slipknot, or you won't be able to move for a while. If you pass from here, your body is alive, and your body should not be very bad, and you can pass it. Hurry up, hurry up, or we'll be frozen into ice!" said in a low voice, wrapping his hands in his coat, puffing up his breath, clenching the iron chain above, and trying to rub off the snow on it, so that the two people behind him could pass safely.
Qingyun took a full breath, pressed his hands on the cold iron chain, shivered even more, gritted his teeth and looked at the distance ahead, his body was light, the whole person grabbed the iron chain, and walked towards the opposite side.
Nangong Wuwei yawned, looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, turned his head to look back, just made a gesture, and clamped the iron chain between his legs, his whole person stood on the iron chain, his hands were spread, as if walking a tightrope, and slowly moved forward.
The howling cold wind blew so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. The person in front of him slammed the wire, took a deep breath of cold air, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to buckle it forward.
It's just that at the moment when he grabbed the chain, he only felt a lightness on his waist, and the rope that bound him broke violently. The heart, as if it was about to jump out at that moment, Qingyun suddenly buckled the chain, "Childe!"
"Yes, how can the hemp rope break!" Seamus in front of him paused, quickly pressed the iron chain, like an ape, the whole person put down his hand, slid along the chain, and reached out to untie his waist.
It's just that the more nervous he became, the more panicked he became, but the hemp rope around his waist turned into a dead knot, and there was no way to untie it.
"No, don't look down, grab the chains, quick, tie your coat up, so you can ...... for a while Grab it!" Suddenly reaching out and clasping Qingyun's arm, Seamo's heart jumped suddenly.
One hand was clasped with an iron chain, Qing Yun didn't dare to look down, that face became pale, only to feel that his hands were hot, looking up, he found that his hands had been worn out of the epidermis, the blood fell down his palm, and the cold blew, the mouth became more and more hideous.
The strength of his whole body was drastically reduced, and his face became even more ugly, "Childe, I'm ...... I can't protect you well, I ......"
"What are you talking about, you are a person I have carefully selected, just this little setback, you can't stand it? You also went to the desert, you also broke into the ancient building, and now follow me to the Sang country, it is not for you to die." Hold on!" The man standing on the chain leaned down, lay on the chain, reached out and clasped Qingyun's arm, lay on the chain, and moved slowly.
Jiang He on the other side trembled even more, "Sister Ruyi, what should we do now, should we ......?"
"No, if you can't even pass this level, then there's no need. Indifferently, he turned his head to look to the side, and twelve-brushed his sideburns with his hair.
Xi Mo grabbed Qing Yun's arm, and with Nangong Wuwei's movements, he walked towards the opposite side of the chain step by step. The blood slowly slid down their arms, almost staining the snow on the chains red.
This scene fell in Qing Yun's eyes, but his heart was extremely complicated, and he mustered up all his strength, clasped the cold iron chain with one hand, and tried his best to make his body lean over.
As Nangong Wuwei said, he is the person he fancies!
Back then, so many guards stood out, but he chose him to be his personal bodyguard, no matter where he was, His Highness always took special care of him. He always wanted to ask why, but when he was drunk, he said that he had the same eyes as him.
Abandoned, but never given up!
